Hey, you guys started it. And seriously, you can't say silly shit like "the US only took one year to reach Berlin, the Soviets took four" and expect to get away with it when the only reason the Americans were able to reach Berlin in the first place is exactly because the Russians (and everyone else, but especially the Russians) had already been fighting Germany for years before the US glory hounds even made it across the ocean. Come on, son, step it up.
Thats just rude. I did not insult you or your country and I never said the Soviets were not important in the war effort against chocolate chip cookie Germany. But honestly the soviets could not have defeated the chocolate chip cookie by themselves when they had 8.8 to 10.7 million casualties not even fighting the entire German forces. And the US fought at least 40% since they didn't land in France until 1944 and took us a year to get to Berlin while the soviets took 4 years and they only beat the US by what a week? Then they're is also the fact that if the US had not taken part in fighting Germany. Britain would have fallen and the Soviets were geared up to possibly win a conventional war but the Germans were very close to developing nuclear weapons (According to the Documentary I saw) The Germans were around 6 months away from developing nukes when they arrived in Berlin which isn't long at all if they hadn't had pressure from US.As for the invasion of Japanese occupied Manchuria by the soviets happened on 9 August 1945 and japans surrender was on August 15 of 1945 even though it didn't happen ceremonially until Sept 2. That shows how key the soviets were in the war against Japan. But in any case get outa my thread! I have stuff to organize
I hope we all learned an important lesson from this. That einstein was dumb and started a two-front war.
His mother's asshole, I tragedy
